You lot may have noticed that all of the tutorials on this site have a dashed line running through the middle of each footstep, in both horizontal and vertical directions. If students make theirain centered lines on theirown newspaper, before drawing, they will take an piece of cake reference to follow.

Drawing skills are all about getting the size and placement of lines on paper, and so having some visual reference point to get started, will always help anyone learn how to be a lilliputian more accurate.

And then does that hateful students need to get out a ruler to draw a big fat line downward the center of their paper before they start? Goodness no, please don't! That will almost likely be hard to erase and distract from any finished art. No, simply fold the sheet of paper in half both ways, make a crease, and unfold. The beauty is that past the time the drawing is done and colored in, the creases will disappear.
